My Experience - I do all the wrong stuff. Bought two coaches at MOT - one sight unseen. Went to pick them up, flew in, moved stuff over, drove away the same day (work, work work). Take my coach to FOT or MOT or Xtreme at least once a year. Drop it off and don't stay with it. Come in and pick it up and pay the bill and drive away.

Good luck and congratulations.

Tim, like you sometimes I roll the dice. You may recall I have my current coach due to your Forum post for Sandi Rosti last year. I bought the coach over the phone, flew to Denver, handed over the check and drove it home in Oklahoma. I saw your post on Saturday and drove it away Tuesday morning. No problems on the maiden voyage and it has been almost trouble free since. I didn't even have to replace tires or batteries. This roll of the dice really worked out. Thanks for putting it on the Forum!!!

Kent - FUP on me posting and you buying - I have a friend that I sent the coach info to a couple a days before I posted your amazing coach on the Forum. He was upse that you bought it so quickly and was a little perturbed at me that I pu it on the forum

"You snooze, you lose" Glad that Sandi sold the coach and that it found a great home

From earlier post from Tim;
Xtreme, MOT and FOT all make good if soething isn't right after I drive away. Why I dry WAYYYYYY out of my way to go to those places. THat being said, one of these days I will stay with the coach when it is worked on, I think I will be both happier and smarter (and probably a little poorer, since I will think of more stuff to do while I am there.)

Have to laugh about the part of being happier, smarter and little poorer,  While at Xtreme, it is so hard to just leave things alone while Rance is there with such great ideas, (costly little mods).  Next visit will include makeing both sides (radiator and condenser) open on a hindge, plus a better air intake location to the air filter.  Rance does wonders with fiberglass, if you have not been around his work, you missed a talented feller.
